This philodendron is a striking plant featuring rich, dark-green, oval-shaped leaves that are detailed with subtle lines across the face. Native to South America, ‘Green Princess’ is a small compact plant that leaves a big impression and is perfect for brightening up smaller spaces within the home that receive indirect sunlight.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from. - Home care: Water freely when in growth, but keep drier in winter. Mist the leaves regularly with water to increase humidity and every so often put it under a cold shower to wash off the leaves. Make sure the winter temperatures stay above 10°C, and repot every couple of years.
